===== Getting an Account =====
To connect to the CIM/Reparti Matrix server, you will need to obtain a CIM service account.  This account is separate from the account you use to access CIM computers, but you can share the same username and password.

To get an account, you will need to fill the CIM account form available on this page: [[cimaccount|CIM Account]] or if you already have a CIM computer account, fill the {{ ::cimuserinformationupdateform.pdf | CIM User Information Update Form}} and submit it to support@cim.mcgill.ca and we will create your CIM service account.

===== Connecting to the Server =====
We recommend [[https://element.io/|Element]] as the matrix client to access the CIM Matrix server.  You can either install the Element application to your device (available on most platforms), or you can use the web interface available at: **[[https://element.cim.mcgill.ca/]]**


When you open Element, you'll need to sign into the CIM matrix server

You will need to tell Element which server to join by changing the url of the home server (if using the web interface, you do not need to follow this step as the web interface will only connect to matrix.cim.mcgill.ca)
{{ ::002-edit.png?direct&400 |}}
Set the homeserver url to matrix.cim.mcgill.ca
{{ ::003-edit.png?direct&400 |}}
You can then sign in with your CIM matrix username and password.
